Sony products are usually pretty good but they've got to stop naming them like everyone's got a spreadsheet for a brain "yeah i'm really happy with my wh-100xm4s" "having trouble with my LS27AG320NNXZA"

bring back the Sony that went "PlayStation!" (coke_sniff.wav) "Walkman!"

My phone is a "Sony XPeria 5 III". I hate this so much. If it was just the "5 3" that would be okay but somehow they are mixing arabic and roman numerals. I don't know how to pronounce it.

For the record, the "Sony XPeria 5 III" is not as good as the "Sony XPeria 5 IV", and the "Sony XPeria 5 III" is better than the "Sony XPeria 1 III", but the "Sony XPeria 5 III" is also better than the "Sony Xperia 10 III", so 5 > 10 > 1 although the 10 and 1 also are sort of a tradeoff, the 10 has a better display but the 1 is faster, so maybe it would be more correct to say 5 > 1 > 10. There is also the Sony XPeria X, which is completely different from the Sony Xperia 10, the X is very old and has been discontinued for years whereas the 10 is still being sold.

Since Sony releases a new 1, 5 and 10 every year and numbers them by roman numerals, one assumes if they don't rebrand in the next six years there will eventually be a "Sony Xperia 10 X" which is completely different from the "Sony XPeria X" (and also different from the Sony XPeria X Compact which is a third thing altogether).

Z3 Compact was my favorite phone ever and I despise that every time Sony does a new round of these one of the models will sound just close enough (in pure model number) that I get excited instead of being able to parse that the phones are like 8 years apart from each other

If you liked the Compact models then what you want out of their current lineup are the Ace models. Unfortunately these are only available in Japan and if you try to import them they probably won't work right due to countries using different cell frequency bands.
